The Bledowska Sands are the largest (in Central Europe) accumulation of loose sand away from any sea, deposited thousands of years ago by a melting glacier.[1]

During the Second World War, the area was used by the German Afrika Korps for training and testing equipment before deployment in Africa.

pelt -> colt ? (Google didn't help, and there's no Pelt on the roster of the Indianapolis Colts. Maybe another team?)
